Avignon
A must near the hotel
Less than an hour from the Hotel La Clé des Champs, Avignon invites you on all journeys ... through time, history and culture! Known all over the world for its Theater Festival, the papal city (no less than 7 popes, including 2 builders who loved the arts, succeeded each other during the 15th century) has kept an exceptional heritage, a large part of which is inscribed in UNESCO.
A must see: the Palais des Papes, the largest Gothic palace with its 15,000 m² with 25 places to visit, the Petit Palais Museum, one of the largest European museums of medieval art, the Saint-Bénézet Bridge better known under the name of "Pont d'Avignon", the 4.3 km long Ramparts intended to repel the attackers and which make it possible to protect the inhabitants from the floods of the Rhône, the Notre Dame des Doms basilica with its Golden lead Virgin which majestically dominates the Rhône valley, Old Avignon with the Place de l'Horloge, the Town Hall, the Saint-Agricol church…
Avignon, the land of festivals, vibrates throughout the year. Full of life and energy, the city is a gem in a natural setting.
